I didn't know about this new service called 'Weave'! It will be very useful to synchronize my Firefox profile across ubuntu and windows. Thank you so much!!

There are some people stating that Flash performance has benefited from some of the tweaks in the other thread. Maybe those could be ported over to this thread under flash or the link just left with a note that it might not work for all etc... ????
Cheers for the info about Weave. Did not know about that.
I don't know about Sunbird, but my Thunderbird files are in a different folder called .mozilla-thunderbird. My .mozilla folder only contains Firefox material. They've always had separate folders on my systems - Ubuntu and Windows both.
edit: Please ignore the bit about Windows - of course the folder structures are quite different.

Thanks for this, I run Hardy and Firefox has really been slow lately. I have been looking at other browsers but they don't have the extensions I need (Adblock Plus and NoScript).
You are welcome. I also stick with Firefox because of the extensions. I use several of them and they make my web experience much better.
I'm updating the tutorial right now, to include a section on how to compile Firefox 3.5. I had 30% improvement in performance with an optimized 3.5 version on Jaunty
I have updated the "Firefox Alternatives & Newer Versions" section to include a warning about the ubuntu-mozilla-daily PPA repository, because the current Firefox package available there is already 3.5.1 Alpha.
OK thanks for refering me to this. It explains a lot!
One question: in my default profile folder there is a file called "lock" When I look at properties (or try to open it) it describes it as a "broken link". What is this and should I delete it?
Thanks
